-- Upgrading to a DJM600 from DJX700

Upgrading to a DJM600 from DJX700

So i've decided to take the next step and purchase a decent mixer. I'm pretty much sold on the DJM600, it's industry standard and in my price range (other suggestions would be welcomed but they'd need to make a good point to change my mind!).

What i'd like to know is what I should expect from the DJM600 compared to the shitter that is the DJX700? Better or crisper sound quality? More robust feel etc? Anything else i'd really notice the difference in?

you will drool at the feeling of having smooth faders, not ones that cut in at 7/10 of the way. you'll delight at having good sound quality. you'll adore the not having things bleed into other channels, and you'll orgasm at the touch of a functional effects unit.

Hope your ecler arrives soon.. thats a peachy fuqn mixer right there. I'm just trying to decide where the best place online to get a DJM600 is at the moment. I'll need to ask around


Posted by wee_rooney on Aug-11-2005 21:07:

Soo damn true!!!!

i updated my mixer from djx700 to djm600 a year ago and i tell you m8..u cant belive how different they are...in power , sounds , effects..its pioneer man!


Posted by zshev on Aug-12-2005 17:19:

excellant! my mouth is watering at the prospect! should order it today


Posted by spdandpwr on Aug-12-2005 17:51:

wow never knew there were so many people who bought such a junk mixer, djx 700, in the first place. Pioneers are awesome btw and well worth it. The auto beat sampler is a really cool idea. I wonder how well it works though. On another note i heard and have read that the fader on the pioneer djm 600 isn't the greatest for scratching and if you beat on it, it will fail.


AUTO BEAT SAMPLER
This is a new DJ function that allows you to sample your favorite sources and play them back easily at the touch of a button. The BPM is measured digitally and recorded automatically exclusively for designated beats 1 / 2 / 4 / 8 / 16 ) beats,
Maximum interval: 6 seconds.


I will be getting the empath though

My reasons for picking the empath over the pioneer.

1) Rane has been known to provide the best sound quality
2) The mixer is not as cluttered as the pioneer
3) Way stronger fader
5) Two assignable CD triggers work with any CD player with fader start ability (I think pioneers only work with cdjs)
6) The Accelerated-Slope, full-cut, 3-band tone controls are the most flexible and highest quality available.
7) Auto-Gain prevents performance-wrecking swings in program level when changing sources. The music is never too soft or clipped.
8) The Empath provides XLR, TRS or RCA connectors.
9) Two-band headphone tone controls
10) Universal, internal switching power supply

Ah thats a shame you've wasted 2 weeks getting nowhere with getting your dj stuff. Try out DJ Store They are based in Aberdeen so quite near(ish) to you! Fone them up & ask them if they have the nuo 5 & pdx2300 mkII in stock to save u the hassle you've went through!

Oh btw...posted your target lights 2 days ago! Sorry for the delay in sending them out....

That guy could have been me. I had to make a call almost to the CEO of Pioneer to get my two CDJ1000mk2's here (after waiting 6-7 weeks). After that things started to happen, and i got my decks in two days. So no hard feelings against Pioneer.
